Davis-Kimball weaves science, mythology and mystical cultures into a bold new historical tapestry of female warriors, heroines and leaders who have been left out of the history books— until now.

I thoroughly enjoyed the subject matter and wanted to learn more. I loved that I learned so much about groups of people that I have only heard mentioned in other texts. What i didn’t love was the writing style. I just couldn’t get behind her dry sentences and asides about her own personal life. I would have liked a more straight forward archaeology/history book.
